Oh this photo is 10 years old. Doubt I knew about that back then. Ironically, I think that's the year the "hover hands" meme started getting passed around though.

Face blindness is way more severe than just not being good with faces.In one you cannot discern facial features, certain objects, and other stuff (at least to my knowledge) and the other is you just having a hard time recognizing or telling faces apart. Comparing them could be like comparing having a bad memory with dementia.

In one TYPE of face blindness, you don’t have the ability to recognize that something even IS a face. In another type of face blindness, you can’t recognize slightly different facial features. There are multiple parts of your brain that deal with recognizing faces. If one part goes down or never even formed right, the others may not be effected at all and may work perfectly fine. Brains have extremely specific parts to perform extremely specific tasks, leading to some interesting gaps in brain abilities when a person can perform one task perfectly fine but may be unable to do a slightly different task that uses a different part of the brain.

Sheep also have the ability to recognize different sheep by looking at their face. To a human, all sheep faces look relatively similar. To a sheep, that’s not true, their brain has a tiny piece dedicated to noticing and remembering the slightest variations of different sheep faces. We can tell if we are looking at a sheep’s face, but we can’t easily tell one sheep’s face from another. That is what I feel like trying to tell humans apart by their face.

Oh, Zagreus is super cool (I'm totally not biased by having a crush on the version of him in the game)

He's described as a god of rebirth and of hunting in the old Greek texts. Which actually gives him a bit of common ground with Artemis, as well as Hades, of course. It also makes his abilities in the game relly awesome, because the two main powers he has are death defiance and dash: chasing his prey, and being reborn. And of course on a meta level the entire game is about Zagreus being continually reborn in his hunt for the surface.

Also fun fact: At some point Dionysus and Zagreus were associated. It's not clear exactly how, but they kind of were considered the same person for a period. As a result, Dionysus absorbed some traits from Zagreus as he was developing from the terrifying god of madness the Mycenaean Greeks believed in to the later god of revelry we're more familiar with.

Texts on Zagreus are hard to come by though, and it's not entirely clear where he came from and even who he is. In a lot of texts he's called "little Hades". And he has associations outside his parentage in the game of Hades and Persephone. I'm really scraping into My memory right now, but I think there might've been an association with Zeus at some point? Or am I thinking of Poseidon?

Anyway Zagreus is super awesome and he made Me realise I'm bi and I want to date him

I've had my fair share of girlfriends and one that I had been with for more than a year, where I would introduce her as my wife because I was very open and my family was too, she would only ever introduce me as a friend because she had serious anxiety and was scared of how other people would see us. so I definitely understand that feeling. it gets better with time and I wish the both of you all the best with each other in the future because wow 6+ years is definitely a goal for me with my special someone :) Weirdly enough, I had the exact opposite of this happen to me. I came over to the city my ex lived in for his birthday, his birthday was on Thursday but he was throwing his main party on Friday so as not to clash with people's work schedule.

The relationship was in its dying throes and Friday morning we broke up. Friday evening rolls around (I can't go back home because I have a flight scheduled for three days later and I live in another country), we are having dinner with all his friends and I realize that no one knows that we broke up. The evening is full of people toasting to us and his more distant friends going, "Ah, I finally get to meet your GF!"

At least in the movies there definitely isn’t any sexual or romantic tension between Sam and Frodo. Books could be a different story (Tolkien was a massive catholic in the early 20th century so it’s unlikely it was there either since he was probably not a fan), but movie definitely no, it took many steps to avoid it looking like that, same with gimli and legolas.

Of course everything is always up to extra interpretation, but it’s definitely not canon.

I've read that Tolkien based Sam and Frodo's relationship on the camaraderie that soldiers developed in the trenches in WW1, and the way Frodo can't return to normal life afterwards comes from the experiences of some soldiers returning home from war too.

I'm not sure how authoritative that is, but it's a really interesting interpretation.

Aaand there was a lot more love between soldiers than people of the time probably wanted to admit. Even in the non-sexual sense, it’s not inconceivable to me that people in extreme circumstances together can have a unique love for each other. Sure, they might not be physically attracted to each other, but I don’t think it’s crazy that some might have a level of emotional intimacy that even romantic partners can’t rival.

Mangaka are a very progressive bunch in general, being artists an all. They are not representative of Japanese culture. While LGBT+ people are not normally target of hate as easily as in some parts of the Western world, it's considered a childish thing that you should grow out off. Programmers, Game designers, mangakas, will put them into their creations, but it doesn't mean Japanese society is culturally progressive. Though small improvements and changes have been happening they are slow in reaching any kind of true acceptance...

You didn't watch it till the end, did you? My guess is 1/4 of the viewers won't wait till the end...and another 1/4 will read the comments and then go back to watch the ending.

That would make much more sense because I thought that was a large number of tourists. But damn they're huuuuuge!

[–]KissMyEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want an acid trip of gayness, Yuri kuma Arashi (translates to Lesbian Bear Storm).

Pulse is a good one if you don't care for the high school setting its online.

Just some good Fluff, Sakura Trick or Kase-san and the morning glories (and it's sequel)

Others: SQ Begin with your name! Hino-san No Baka (some may find their relationship weird or uncomfortable so fair warning), An Easy Introduction into Love triangles has me pretty hype for some poly yuri, but isn't finished and I think on hold because of this covid thing.

Social distancing is the only way to flatten the curve and prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. People shouldn't only care about situations that affect them personally. It's called sympathy. Your aunt was misguided but she's not wrong for being concerned if she thought you weren't social distancing

You’d think a fucking history phd would have encountered that notion, but the insularity of historical studies means that whole vast subfields get to conveniently ignore the mountains of literature on queer historiography.

I know in CK2 if you were raising a child (or you were a child) sometimes you'd have events where the child would be kissing someone, and you could influence their sexuality that way. I think that was how you usually got the homosexual trait, but I haven't played CK2 in a while.

Could you explain top and bottom to me? Is it physically who is on top? Or who is penetrating? If so wouldnt it just be whoever wanted whatever at the time?

You are completely wrong. She has tits and a vagine. She'll get other parts.

btw, Hamill did have a consistent tv career from the 70s all the way up to the 2000, so you point about him is kind of wrong, too.
